I Mix Up South Korea and Tasmania All the Time
. . . but why should I learn how to tell them apart? They’re both part of the Axis of Evil, after all. Or was that the Coalition of the Willing? More meaningless distinctions—watch this video instead! It will teach you how to recognize North & South Korea on any map. (Hint: North Korea is the bigger one.) PLUS: It has a cute guy with a hot New Zeal—er, Austral—er, Tasmanian accent in it!

I love CNNNN but I have never been able to find many clips of it.
Those guys have a new show “The Chaser’s War on Everything” and there are lots of good clips floating around from that show. My favorite is the one where they catch Fred Phelps making a pass at a male reporter.

I had never heard of The Chaser before, or of the TV shows it has spawned, but after some quick Google- and Wikipedia-fueled research, I am suddenly very enthusiastic about parodical Australian news. Tell me more.

Oh dear oh dear (excuse me while I lift my chin up from the floor…) Every time I thought it couldn’t possibly get any worse, it did. What can you say? I love the bit about the Masons :-) People can be – correction – people are so incredibly stupid… And yet they support invading countries without having ever heard of them or knowing where they are. The future’s grim…

I know! Horrifying, isn’t it? And yet somehow irresistibly fascinating. The crazies and loonies were fun, but my favorites were the seemingly normal people who apparently had just crawled out from under the one rock that news of Tony Blair and Sri Lanka has not yet penetrated. And triangles! As a mathematician, I am in despair. I spent three-quarters of the video with both fists pressed to my mouth, alternating between hysterical laughter and a muttered litany of “oh no oh no oh GOD you did NOT just say that no no oh no,” etc.
